The amendment is to the PDF document ‘Artists_database_fields’, which is linked to from the database page in Activity 1. We have amended the statement about the first database field which originally stated:

“1. ArtistID, this will be generated automatically when you add a new record”

This field does not generate automatically. Candidates themselves will need to generate an ArtistID for each new record they add. They can either manually complete this or change the data type themselves. The statement now simply reads:

“1. ArtistID – the ID number for the Artist”

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
